the cotton is taken from beneath the
shed by cotton rollers, who arrange 1t
in the yard for the broker or buyer, and
it is classed, marked, weighed, and re
weighed, after which it is rolled to the
compress.
There are three men in each gang
that move the cotton from where 1t IS
first dumped in the yard, and the same
gang stow it up in piles of 100 bales
under roof, and this same gang breaks
it out wher. sold. These three men re-
ceive thirteen cents per bale, which
amount is divided between them, be
sides extra pay when cotton comes III
wet.
After the bales are broken out all the
hoops except one are removed, after
which the truck hands take hold and
truck it to the compress room, where 1t
is placed in the press and compressed.
Six bands are placed around the bale.
Sometimes new bagging is required,
and sometimes the bagging has to be
patched, the patching being done while
the bale is in the press. All the Apress-
work is performed by the press-room
compress gang. After the bale is com
pressed it is rolled out from the press
to the street, where a float awaits it.
When the bale reaches the banquette
the leaders seize it and load the float
ready to be taken to the levee.
When the float reaches the levee it is
dumped by the teamster. The long
shoremen take charge and roll the cot
ton to the hold of the ship, where it IS
screwed by the screwmen for foreign
shiDment. Before the 'lOnoShOremen
touch the cotton the levee inspector of
the Cotton Exchange examines the
shipment and makes q a report thereon
to the Exchange which is entered in a
book for the benefit of the Exchange.
